ABSTRACT:
A method of book production wherein a customer sends a computer file of a book to a producer whose computer book production program restructures the text and cover data to fit a standard/preferred size accommodated by the producer's book binding system. The program then calculates the spine dimensions, and this is sent to the customer for determining a layout and content for printing on the spine. The layout is sent to the producer who inserts it into the book production program with a job identification spine code. The producer inserts a code in the cover data identifying the corresponding text and spine. At the beginning of each day/production run, the producer simply enters the covers in the desired order into the production program. The program reads the cover code, which identifies the corresponding stack and spine and directs the printing and binding accordingly.
